Problems with actionexe (or actionscript) and remote parameter
Updated: 21 May 2010 | 2 comments
This issue has been solved. See solution.
Hello,
I've just created a new sif file with a single rule (filenotexist). I want the fix action to result in the execution of a small application that is located on the security expression server, therefore I set the REMOTE parameter to NO.
This doesn't work, the application executes remotely whatever I try (I even tried to put everything in a bat script). I replaced the application with notepad and it opened up on the remote host...
Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong here ?
Btw, I updated to 4.1.1 just to be sure that it's not a known issue that has already been fixed.
Thanks in advance for your help

Hi Alexis. That looks like a bug to me. If you use ActionScript instead of ActionExe, the Remote parameter seems to work. What you'll probably need to do is write a VBScript and embed it into the policy file, and then using the script refer to the local executable, executing it through VBScript instead of directly. It's not pretty, but it should work. In the meantime, I'd send a message to support to report the bug.

Hi Mike. I thought I had tested ActionScript and that it didn't work correctly either but it seems I was wrong, it does run locally.
I'll report the bug as you said. Thanks for your help!
